Jérôme Tharaud (born May 18, 1874 in Saint-Junien , † January 28, 1953 in Varengeville-sur-Mer ) was a French writer who published novels and travel books with his brother Jean Tharaud .

Life

Tharaud attended school in Angoulême and the Collège Sainte-Barbe in Paris. In 1896 he passed the entrance exam to the École normal supérieure . After his studies he worked for some time in Austria-Hungary as a language teacher at the University of Budapest . Back in France in 1901 he became Maurice Barrès' private secretary . In 1898 he and his brother Jean published their first joint literary work with Le Coltineur débile . All subsequent publications are usually published under both names. You also wrote articles for the magazine Cahiers de la Quinzaine and received 1906 forDingley, l'illustre écrivain the Prix ​​Goncourt .

Thanks to his stay in pre-war Hungary, he was called in by the French General d'Espèrey as an expert in the negotiations on the Treaty of Trianon 1920. In 1921 he wrote a book about the recent political developments in Hungary - Hungarian independence, the Aster Revolution and the Hungarian Soviet Republic - and indulged in anti-Semitic abuse even when choosing the title . Kunfi ( Die Herrschaft Israels , p. 177) and Béla Kun (p. 167) are repulsive because of their physiognomy, especially some of the Jews indulged in unnatural vices and shameful perversities (p. 181), they are unclean (p. 281) that the Jews were to blame for chauvinistic Magyarism (p. 156), they had already numerically dominated the communist council government (p. 192). Nevertheless, in 1927 the book was not a trend font for the Austrian Amalthea Verlag , which published the translation, but the translator was concerned about the anti-German passages.

The brothers made numerous trips, for example to Palestine , Iran , Morocco and Romania , and published travel reports about them that can be considered contemporary documents today. They also wrote a large number of novels and magazine articles.

After Jérôme Tharaud had failed in by-elections to the Académie in 1923 and 1932, he became a member of the Académie française on December 1, 1938 as the successor to Joseph Bédier , in which he received his 31st place , his opponent was Fernand Gregh . Jean also became a member of the Académie.
